Woman: Oppressed Sufferer or Willing Victim?

KEVIN & HILDA PROLIFE AWARD: ESSAY COMPETITION

Have the increasing incidents of violence against women awakened our collective conscience or desensitized it? How do we respond to the disrespect, brutality and neglect that women face, often starting with the home?

We challenge our Catholic youth and young professionals to explore this topic more intensely through an Essay of 1500 - 2000 words which: -provides an in-depth look at the issue.-discusses viable means to address and prevent such violence.-explores if existing institutions and agencies are adequate-suggests a forum for the redressal of grievances, and the eradication of injustice towards women.
